DEATH OF MAY BLAIR
This community was greatly shocked by the news of the deat of Miss May Blair, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Blair. This sad event occurred Wednesday about 2 p. m., after a brief illness with pharingitis, the immediate cause of death being failure of the heart. Her sickness began with an attack of tonsilitis and the effected organs being lanced, she seemed to be doing well. Wednesday about 1 o'clock Dr. Oliver was hastily summoned, and when he arrived he found the patient very weak, with no perceptible pulse-beat. Stimulents were adminstered but the revival was but temporary and all soon the tide of life had ebbed away.
The stroke fell on the parents and family with prostrating force, none having expected a fatal termination excepting Walter, who had watched at the bedside almost constantly and felt during the last day or two that his sister would not recover.
Funeral services were held in the Methodist Episcopal church yesterday at two o'clock, deceased having been a member of that denomination and a prominent occasion and large concourse of sympathetic neighbors were present. Rev. Dimmick preached a brief sermon, and the services were characterized by beautiful songs rendered by pupils of the Sunday school supported by a special choir. The remains were then borne to the Arlington cemetery, the following young friends of deceased serving as bearers: William and Walter Fowler, Elmer Mose, Earl Rowley, Guy and Ulrick Ford.
Alice May Blair was born at Howard, Kansas, October 13, 1885, died at Arlington, Washington, September 3, 1902, being aged 16 years, 10 months, and 21 days. May was a dutiful daughter and a good, christian girl. She had a wide circle of friends and by her death the bereaved parents and family have lost a treasure indeed. They have the sincere sympathy of the entire community in their hour of trial.
